Chapter 804 A Formidable Competitor
Nina clenched her fists in outrage, and her fingertips were gripped pale. She gritted her teeth, "That bastard! How dare he kidnap Gemma?"
"How could I let those bastards off so easily?" The look in Liam's deep eyes was extremely cold, like freezing ice. One would be intimidated with a glance at those eyes. He heard what Nina said on the phone.
Hearing Liam's voice, Nina felt as if she had seen the light of hope. Her voice pitched, "Anna, you went to see Mr. Ackman, right? Tell him to go find Gemma soon!" "It's all right, Nina. We've found Gemma and brought her back. She's asleep now." Anna finally got a chance to speak.
"Really? Great! That's great!"
After asking Anna for some more details, Nina hung up the phone.
She wanted to come to Liam's house to have a look at Gemma, but she didn't dare to go.
Liam was her boss, and she didn't dare to go to his house. She was afraid of facing him, in fear of offending the stern man accidentally.
Soon enough, within a day, James finished the investigation of the kidnapping and the truth was clear.
It was Bryan who was behind the scene and planned the kidnapping.
Liam and Anna have long suspected him.
"Previously, it was also Bryan who gave out Gemma's photos." Anna said to Liam.
"I know."
James went into details of the investigation.
"Our people heard that Mr. Dawson said at a recent party that he was not happy with you and Mr. Collins. He said he hated you guys and that he wanted both of you to go to hell. He couldn't stand to see Ms. Hamilton have a happy family. But he was afraid of Madam Dawson, and he didn't want to cope with the things himself, so he hired a group of gangsters to kidnap Gemma."
Hearing this, Anna sneered coldly, her watery eyes chilling. "Bryan, you still don't repent the things you did! You really burnt your bridges!"
Just then, Madam Dawson's phone call came in.
She asked for Anna.
Because she knew Anna was always so kind to her.
"Anna, when are you free lately? Come to my house and have dinner with me!" Madam Dawson invited
her cordially.
Anna was really in a bad mood. Her chill eyes were full of resentment.
"Grandma, I have always respected you, and I have always been kind to you all. Bryan denigrated Ethan before, but I didn't take it up with him for your sake."
"However, Bryan didn't regret his doings. He exposed Gemma's photo to the public and raised speculations about Gemma's birth on the Internet. I also want to let it go because he's your grandson. After all, Gemma is indeed Liam's daughter!"
After all, the truth would emerge one day. Sooner or later, people would know about Gemma's real father. Even if Bryan didn't disclose it, the journalists would dig it out sometime.
"But this time, Bryan really went too far. He really exceeded my tolerance for him."
"Anna, what are you talking about? I don't understand a thing." Madam Dawson was deliberately playing dumb.
"Grandma, I've been treating you and everyone in the Dawson family sincerely with all my heart for all these years! I treat you as my own grandma and a real family!"
"Grandma, I can understand that you want to protect Bryan. But his time, I will not forgive him again, even you ask me to!"
Anna hung up the phone resolutely.
Then she called the police and reported all the details of their investigation to them.
At the Dawson family mansion
Madam Dawson looked at the hung-up phone and sighed, "What's all this?"
Just then, Bryan came back.
"Grandma!"
Bryan seemed in a good mood. Although he didn't succeed in doing anything with kidnapping Gemma, a t least, he took revenge on Anna.
However, he had a creeping worry on his mind. He feared that those gangsters would give him away.
Pointing at Bryan, Madam Dawson yelled and the old lady's voice trembled, "What have you done? Why don't you ever repent the things you did? Why are you making so many troubles for yourself all the time?"
"How many times do you think I can save you with my old face?"
"Do you think that my prestige is your best card? So you can do whatever you want, so reckless!"
"Grandma, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I just came back from the office. I'm tired. I'm going to go upstairs to rest." Bryan turned around and went upstairs. But Madam Dawson stopped him. "Don't go! Come back!"
Bryan stopped his steps.
"You really pissed me off! When I'm dead, you'll be happy!" Madam Dawson gasped.
Amelia hurriedly held the old lady's arm, "Grandma, don't be angry! Take it easy!"
"Don't trust what Anna said. She was just not happy with our family right now. She wants to ruin our family by all means."
Now that Amelia needed Bryan's help, naturally, she would help Bryan out in every way.
Bryan laughed, "That's true, Grandma! You stay at home all day. You don't know what's going on outside! Don't believe what other people say!"
Madam Dawson stroked her cane against the floor angrily, "Don't you think I stay at home everyday so that I know nothing about what's going on outside the house! I know everything you do!" Bryan's gaze wavered a bit. "So you have arranged someone around me!"
"How else could I stay relieved leaving such a big family business to you! Look at the things you've done!"
"Take it easy, Grandma. Anna is in no way a nice woman either." Amelia stoked Madam Dawson's chest lightly to smooth her breath.
Bryan chuckled with a mockery on himself, "I thought I was the captain of the Dawson family now. Turns out, I'm still just your puppet."
"What nonsense you are talking! You are getting so rude to me!" Madam Dawson raised her cane and swung it at Bryan, but she didn't swing it down because he was her beloved grandson.
"I'm telling you, no matter what, Liam is your uncle! You mustn't rush into doing anything! You can't win your uncle."
However, hearing his grandmother's earnest words, Bryan laughed disdainfully, "Grandma, you should just stay home and enjoy your retirement in peace. Don't bother with these unimportant things!" "How is that unimportant? We are relatives after all. A family must not fight agaist each other internally.
Besides, Ackman Group is a formidable competitor!" Madam Dawson advised earnestly.
Just then, the steward called loudly at the gate," Madam Dawson, Mr. Ackman is here to visit you!"
Before the steward finished his words, Liam thundered in.
When he saw Bryan, his face turned dreadfully grim.
There was awful chillness in him. Immediately, the air around him felt a little cold.
Bryan stood still as if nothing had happened, watching the dangerous man stride to him step by
step.
With his grandmother by his side, Bryan thought that Liam wouldn't dare to do anything to him. However, Liam approached him with a freezing sneer on his face.
Liam didn't say a word but raised his arm and explicitly hit Bryan's face.
